Universal Design Conference
Friday August 19, 2005
UCSC Inn & Conference Center
611 Ocean Street, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (map)
With Keynote Address by:
Edward Steinfeld
, Arch. D.
Professor of Architecture and Director,
IDEA Center, SUNY, Buffalo, New York


The Concept of Universal Design

Accessible design solves access problems and is a subset of Universal Design. Universal Design integrates accessible (and other good) design into the social fabric creating conditions where PWDs do not need to be treated as outside the norm; "special."

As important as the practicalities of the event planning are, we are keen to take advantage of the lead-up as an opportunity for community education, networking, and goodwill-building around Universal Design. Some very powerful networks and collaborations are going to be built in this process.
